Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: PKF Francis Clark
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Having considered the company's forecasts and available bank facilities, the directors have continued to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The directors are satisfied that the company has adequate resources available to discharge its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
